screenshot of twitter posts. @JoyceCarolOates: "wherever he goes, he wants to leave"-- that's because when he gets there, he has brought his own self along; & whatever club he's invited to join has been devalued by the invitation. replying to @avidreader1000: Wherever he goes, he wants to leave: SA, Canada, ultimately the U.S. in the long run, based on his behavior. This also includes Earth. A continuous disavowal of your home is odd, to say the least. He seems to have no c...

PRESS RELEASE AFL-CIO Celebrates Pittsburgh Post- Gazette Workers Winning Their Strike November 10, 2025 AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler issued the following statement today celebrating the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette workers' victory after a 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling upheld their demands for the newspaper to repeal more than five years of workers' rights violations and to compensate those who were impacted: Working people don't back down from a fight, no matter how long it takes or how tough it gets. The members of the Pittsburgh News Guild-CWA have proven that time and again for the past three years. I am thrilled to congratulate them on their resounding victory. The staff of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette stood on the picket line throughout the longest ongoing strike in the United States, fighting against the Post-Gazette's union-busting efforts as it consistently tried to deny workers their health care and break the terms of their contract. Since filing unfair labor practice charges in 2020 and going out on strike in October 2022, they have continued to serve their community with a strike newspaper, the Pittsburgh Union Progress. Today, a federal court ruled that the Post-Gazette must meet its obligations under the workers' collective bargaining agreement, including providing health care coverage, a short-term disability plan, a 40-hour workweek and workers' right to appeal discipline. The Post-Gazette workers' heroic persistence exemplifies the power of what we can achieve when we come together in a union. For three years, they have bravely stood up for their own rights and have thereby held the line for everyone who works for a living. Their struggle has shown us all that when we fight, we win.

photo of a person standing behind a short fence, looking up at a large white wall with black text on it. at the bottom right of the text, the attribution "Zoe Leonard, 1992" is visible through the fence. for some reason the phrases "and an attitude" and "that nasty" are crossed out. the text reads: I want a dyke with aids for president. I want a person with aids for president and I want a fag vice president and I want someone with no health insurance and I want someone who grew up in a place where the earth is so saturated with toxic waste that they didn't have a choice about getting leukemia. I want a president that had an abortion at sixteen and I want a candidate who isn't the lesser of two evils and I want a president who lost their last lover to aids, who still sees that in their eyes every time they lay down to rest, who held their lover in their arms and knew they were dying. I want a president with no airconditioning, a president who has stood on line at the clinic, at the dmv, at the welfare office and has been unemployed and layed off and sexually harrassed and gaybashed and deported. I want someone who has spent the night in the tombs and had a cross burned on their lawn and survived rape. I want someone who has been in love and been hurt, who respects sex, who has made mistakes and learned from them. I want a Black woman for president. I want someone with bad teeth and an attitude, someone who has eaten that nasty hospital food, someone who crossdresses and has done drugs and been in therapy. I want someone who has committed civil disobedience. And I want to know why this isn't possible. I want to know why we started learning somewhere down the line that a president is always a clown: always a john and never a hooker. Always a boss and never a worker, always a liar, always a thief and never caught.

screenshot of the BlueSky profile for @reeveskekius.bsky.social ("Kekius Musk") obviously some scammer, impersonating a subhuman piece of shit. his banner is a photo of a Tesla sign, his bio talks about doge and other things that describe musk, and his first post is about SpaceX.

I'm confused by this account (handle in alt text). pretty obviously spam. where'd they get ~40k followers, following so few at ~700? the followers and following seem like a rich field of spam too. hinky
screenshot of BlueSky account @go4know.com it has 38.8K followers, is following 687, and has 728 posts. the bio is shilling AI tutorial, and the top post ~2h ago shows AI slop of a chick hatching.

Only Crowd, a creature with no body, no head, no mind. Crowd was nothing but a Voice and an Eye, and it was not surprising that Crowd was both God and Mammon. Garraty felt it. He knew the others were feeling it. It was like walking between giant electrical pylons, feeling the tingles and shocks stand every hair on end, making the tongue jitter nuttily in the mouth, making the eyes seem to crackle and shoot off sparks as they rolled in their beds of moisture. Crowd was to be pleased. Crowd was to be worshiped and feared. Ultimately, Crowd was to be made sacrifice unto.

felixhexfilm@bsky.social skeets this with a screenshot: @prisonculture.bsky.social lol this loser bitch blocked & turns off comments, but also wants to tell congress what to do as if any dem is worth another vote for allowing the ice budget to pass FOH with this bullshit, they dont care about you hon the screenshot is of @prisonculture.bsky.social skeeting this quote post: this is something that individual members of Congress could do tomorrow. The government is shut down so they could use their district offices. I suggested in January that they turn those offices into full on community centers where people could find each other re: mutual aid etc... quote posting @abraham.bsky.social skeeting this: If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation. Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

screenshot of two messages, one after the other. message1: Hey Chris, it was nice chatting with you last night. I wasn't really feeling a romantic connection, but I'd still be happy to grab coffee and hang out as friends. Let me know if you're up for that. Hope you have a good Saturday. — Would you like me to make it sound a bit more flirty-friendly (gentle and warm) or keep it purely friendly? message2: That's embarrassing. I used ChatGPT to help me write the message and then heavily edited it. Sorry

an acquaintance of mine is a new mother, and someone in her "mothers' chat group" sent this today. I like it.
screenshot of a text message *Community Note: Caregiver and Family Safety* Hi everyone — sharing this for awareness and community care. There are reports that immigration enforcement activity has started and will continue through the weekend in and around San Francisco, including public areas such as parks, schools, playgrounds, buses and, large retail spaces. While not officially confirmed, several community organizations and city contacts are encouraging extra caution over the next several days. Please note that this may affect not only undocumented individuals, but also people here on various types of visas — including caregivers, parents, and other community members. If your child is with a nanny or caregiver, please keep in mind that this situation could directly impact them, and by extension, your family’s daily routines. It’s a good time to check in with your caregiver to make sure they feel safe and supported. Some ways to help: • Offer paid time off or flexible arrangements if your caregiver prefers to stay home. • Provide transportation if they’re uncomfortable taking public transit. • Coordinate indoor playdates or shared safe spaces with other families. Let’s continue to support one another with care, understanding, and compassion — for our caregivers, families, and the broader community. ❤️
